“For generations, the GM plant has been at the heart of this community.  Today we recognize nearly a century of great work by the people of Janesville that has literally helped keep this country moving.  All my life, I’ve been immensely proud of the vehicles that were made in my hometown. While we are facing some difficult times, the decades of hard work by the people of Janesville remind us that this community is strong enough to meet the challenges ahead.  I will continue to do all I can to help GM employees with this transition, and do all I can to help bring new opportunities to Janesville.”
